    Never even saw him during the race...13th and 2nd last KTM. This circuit certainly never felt good for KTM with all bikes not really on the pace.

    Fark, I'll stick my hand up for that gig as well.  How hard can it be to ride and fall off a bike - I have a lot of experience in doing this as well.  

    Best of all I'll only charge 1/2 what Jack would so only $2M

    Trackhouse could be the other gig.

    So Oliviera seems to be one rider for Pramac and a new name has entered the ring for the second seat.....Remy Gardner

    Not even sure that's on the table either at the moment....at this stage every potential winning seat has gone and nearly every b grade seat is gone so a few test rider gigs floating around that Jack says he's not a starter with, lets see what unfolds.

    PB did you catch that about KTM admitting Jacks bike has had a vibration issue all season preventing him from using its full potential? Jack ain't waving that flag so kudos to him but it's a bit rough to ditch a bloke based on his performance when you know it's not just him.

    Yes KTM have conceded all their bikes have been off the pace for the last several races and the last race 12mts before they had a podium. Sadly the teams employ people to do a job and he aint cutting it so out with the old and in with the new, harsh i know. Hes 16th on the points standing on a full factory bike that a rookie on arguably a lesser bike is 6th and Jacks team mate is 7th. Jacks been on championship winning bikes and teams before and never quiet got the job done and looks like its happening here again.
    It was announced before the Summer Break that KTM will lose a high ranking executive in Fabio Sterlacchini for 2025. KTM will now also lose the Technical Manager of Jack Miller.
    As Motorsport reports, Christian Pupulin will leave KTM and join Honda. Pupulin is set to replace Giacomo Guidotti as Luca Marini's Crew Chief. Previously Christian Pupulin worked with the like of Nicky Hayden and Andrea Dovizioso at Ducati.

    Far out it's more like chucking the deck in the air than shuffling

    Seems like Ducati have offered a full factory Superbike to Jack next season. He would be replacing the out of form Bautista who still hasn't come to a agreement with the factory. Jack hasn't committed to any ride at this stage.

    I read somewhere that he had two superbike offers, dunno who the other would be, if he goes there that's the races I'll be watching, more the race on Sunday buy on Monday kinda deal, the way car racing used to be, don't get me wrong I do admire the tech but the machines are so out of reach for the average Joe and really aren't anything like what you buy in a shop anymore, the outer coverings kinda resemble them but that's where it stops, cars especially.

    Jack had a good first practice in 5th...first KTM and both KTM along with Peco were the quickest thru the speed gun at 333kph around 10kph faster than Honda....promising start to the weekend.

    Hope this is correct....


    Yes Hilly that's the rumour going around at the moment although Jack is still saying he doesn't have a gig. If he has got the gig its certainly not the bike to be on and his claim of "unfinished business" will sadly eventually end exactly like that.

    Aren't the bikes Pramac are getting the latest YZR-M1 models? That would make him, theoretically at least, as competitive as any of the other Yamaha's on the track.

    Yes Hilly they will get the latest spec bikes but what i was referencing was the results of the current bikes....so far this season best finish was 7th and 9th with the remainder being in double digits from 11th to 15th. We have seen Jack on bikes capable of top three positions every week yet been unable to take full advantage so feel its a bit of simply making the numbers up.
